Preface
The present issue of
Acta Physica Polonica A
contains 47 contributed papers presented at the 43rd International
School and Conference on the Physics of Semiconductors Jaszowiec 2014, which took place in Wisªa, Poland, between
June 7th and 12th, 2014. This meeting of the Polish and international semiconductor community has been organized
annually since 1970 by several Polish scientic institutions.
Jaszowiec 2014 was organized by the Institute of Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences, the Faculty of Physics
of the University of Warsaw (the Institute of Experimental Physics and Institute of Theoretical Physics), the Institute
of High Pressure Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences, the Institute of Physics of the Wrocªaw University of
Technology, the Institute of Electron Technology, the Committee on Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences, and
Foundation Pro Physica.
Every year, the conference brings together prominent experts working both in Poland and foreign research centers
(representing 15 countries at Jaszowiec 2014) and provides an important contribution to the development of semiconductor physics. In the last years, the number of participants of the School and Conference has numbered over
250. In 2014, a two-day Special Tutorial Session preceded the Conference from June 7th to 8th. The School consisted
of 6 lectures followed by discussions and exercises that provided an introductory overview of the main conference
topics.
During the following 4 days of the Conference, 17 one-hour long invited talks were given and about 200
contributed papers were presented as 20-minute talks or posters. The subjects covered during the invited talks included, but not limited to, topological insulators, Majorana fermions, semiconductor nanostructures, nanophotonics,
spintronics, quantum information, graphene, wide-gap semiconductor devices for energy conversion, and advanced
characterization/processing techniques.
We wish to express our gratitude to the members of the Program Committee and the International Advisory
Committee for their signicant contribution to the success of the School and the Conference. We would also like to
thank all the colleagues who helped organize the School and the Tutorial Session. We address special acknowledgments
to Šukasz Kªopotowski, Chairman of the Tutorial Session, as well as to the members of the Organizing Committee:
Martyna Cinak-Modzelewska and Maciej Zaj¡czkowski.
Finally, we would like to acknowledge nancial support from Ministry of Science and Higher Education, Polish
Academy of Sciences, Foundation Pro Physica, U.S. Oce of Naval Research Global, U.S. Army Technological
Center-Atlantic, and from commercial sponsors: Nano Carbon, ap Vacuum, Bruker, Comef, Karia, Labis, and Pfeier
Vacuum.
